DIGITAL BLOG POST #I CHAPTER 4

My first concept is understanding by design also known as backward design which is used to develop a curriculum. By using a strategy called enduring understanding teachers can help teach students lessons that will last them a life time. Enduring understanding takes place when teachers implement ideas and information that stick to the minds of the students.

 

For my second concept I chose using technology in lesson planning, this technology includes resources such as the internet. The Internet provides teachers with numerous materials that can be used to teach students many subjects. The internet can also be used to help teacher develop their lesson planning. By using website and online application teachers can increase the students learning and decrease the duration it takes teacher to prepare lesson plans. I uploaded a short YouTube video that is about a student showing you how many uses there are for technology to help you create a lesson plan. 

 

Finally I picked test assessment for my third concept, teachers use tests to help determine the students progress in the teacher’s classroom. Teachers use different forms of testing such as Norm-referenced and criterion-referenced. Norm-referenced is often used for teachers to determine a student’s score rank by comparing the student’s test scores with their classmate’s scores. Criterion-referenced is used to determine the student’s performance by comparing the student’s present score with passed score within the same subject.

For my conclusion, understanding by design or backward design can be used to develop a curricular which uses a strategy known as enduring understanding. Using technology in lesson planning uses internet resources and online applications to help teachers provide their students learn various subjects. And test assessments are used by teachers to determine the student’s progress.

DIGITAL BLOG POST #H Chapter 9

My first concept is Youtube, handcrafted videos, and streaming video resources. The internet has many resourceful videos to help web surfers learn new skills. These step by step instructional videos teach any number of things from plumbing to building a computer. But in this situation these videos will help teachers with teaching their students in any subject from math to science and even history.

My next concept is Digital video cameras. Digital video cameras are useful for teachers as a learning instrument. They allow teacher to snap good quality pictures of learning moments and adjust the pictures to their liking. Adjustments or editing such as cropping, lighting, creating slideshows, etc. These functions combined with a teacher’s planning can help a teacher demonstrate a lesson or project with ease.

My last concept is Digital video and storytelling. Digital story telling is a great concept for subjects such as English and language arts. This concept can be used for group play projects and benefit the students by being able watch themselves as they play a part or a character. This concept also gives the students the ability to redo any acts or scenes the students may not be too proud of. Below I've uploaded a short Youtube video explaining what Digital story telling it.  

In conclusion, online video resources such as Youtube can benefit teacher and students because of the variety of instructional videos they have available to them. Digital cameras assist teacher with teaching by allowing teacher to edit photos and create educational slideshows to help students learn. And digital video and storytelling helps students are great for acting and play projects to allow students to view and possibly redo any acts or scenes that they may not be happy with.
